The NFL season is 1/4 over and the Chicago Bears are 2-2. This is where I predicted them but not how. They managed to lose games they should have won and win games they should have lost. That's the NFL and the Bears in a nutshell.
For their next four games, I predicted the following:
Panthers W
Jaguars W
Bye Week
at Commanders W
at Cardinals L
I'm sticking with it but the Commanders are playing well and the other three teams aren't as bad as their record indicates. And any team with a losing record is dangerous because they really want that next win.
For instance, the Bears play the 1-3 Panthers next week. We will be in Ontario so I likely won't get to watch that game until we get back (and I'll only watch if we win).
The Jaguars are looking for their first win and I hope they get it against Indianapolis so that when we play them in London, we aren't playing a desperate 0--5 team looking for their first win of the season. While this counts as a home game, it's on the road. Far, far away. But they do have the Bye week next so it resets.
Then the next two games are on the road where we have lost all season. My prediction had them going 3-1, making them 5 - 3 overall. I'm worried this might have been too optimistic. Anything less than 2-2 makes their playoff hopes a little tougher.
